Mystery: I Can Transform Things from Books

Chapter 238 Shatov

"Why did you stop?" Chris asked.

"There are soldiers ahead, please wait for me."

Andre replied briefly, jumped out of the carriage and went up to meet him.

On the side of the road, there were two soldiers wearing Loen Royal Army uniforms. Andre was negotiating with them with his pass certificate.

The sound of conversation reached Chris's ears, causing him to unconsciously reach for his pocket.

"Did you bring someone here? Is there anyone in the carriage?" the soldier asked as he walked away.

"There is one, he should be from Loen..."

"Male and female?"

"It's a gentleman..."

"Shh-"

The curtain at the back of the carriage was opened, and two soldiers wearing similar clothes appeared in front of Chris. One of them had a "V" shaped symbol on his epaulette.

He recognized them, a corporal and a private.

"You," the private standing in front pointed at Chris, "get out of the car!"

Chris didn't want to get into trouble, so he got out of the carriage obediently.

"Do you have proof of identity?" the private asked angrily.

Chris silently took out the identification card of "Graxe" and handed it over.

The private inspected the seal and looked up from time to time to compare his appearance with the Chris in front of him.

At the other end of the carriage, the chatter of the other two people also reached Chris's ears. The soldier was joking with Andre, and the two obviously knew each other.

Finally, the private checked Chris's identification and handed it back to him.

Chris breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but give Swain a thumbs up in his heart.

"Can I go on, sir?" Chris sneered.

This is Winter County, the territory of the goddess of the night, and he doesn't want to cause any trouble.

"Graxel, why are you going to the border?"

"I'm going shopping."

"Is there anything that can only be purchased at the border? Can't you buy it from Tingen or Constant, and can't you buy it from Backlund?"

Chris didn't want to get entangled with the other party anymore, sighed, and asked bluntly:

"How much does it cost to let me go?"

"Tsk tsk, are you bribing me?" The private puffed his beard and stared, "I am a loyal soldier of the Royal Army! How dare you bribe me? I have reason to suspect that you are from Fusac..."

"Okay, Private." The corporal came over, waved his hand, and looked at Chris, "Five pounds, I will issue a pass for you."

XX!

Chris cursed in his mind, but had no choice but to take out a 5-pound note from his wallet and hand it over.

The corporal raised the banknotes, checked them, and then handed Chris the pass certificate he had prepared.

"Let's go." He waved his hand.

……

In the shaking car, Chris became more and more angry as he thought about it. If Andre hadn't been by his side, and if the "Rose" powder hadn't still been on Star Island, he would have definitely taught these two people a lesson.

"It can't be helped, sir," Andre said with relief when Chris didn't speak. "The relationship between Fusac and Roen has never been very good. If there is a war, Winter County will be the front line."

"Ugh!"

Chris sighed deliberately. To him, five pounds was not much, but the feeling of being blackmailed made him uncomfortable.

Fifteen minutes later, the carriage slowed down, and Andre reminded:

"Okay, sir, we're almost there."

Chris looked out and saw that he was on a downhill slope. The road was surrounded by a coniferous forest with spruce, larch and other trees.

Under the road, there is a village with fireworks. To the north of the village is a large area of ​​low bushes. Looking further into the distance, there are continuous snow-capped mountains.

Above the alpine grassland, the thick snow reflects the sunlight, making it very dazzling. "The 'Giant' is down there?" Chris asked.

"Yes, you can see him when you arrive." Andre smiled.

The carriage went downhill all the way, and after entering the village, Andre tied the horse to the hitch post and took Chris into a tavern.

The style of the tavern is very simple, without too many decorations. In the corner of the tavern, there are many wine bottles stacked here and there.

There were no customers in the tavern at this time. Andre walked to the front desk, took out a few coins, and exchanged them for two glasses of spicy and cheap "Nipos". This distilled liquor is a specialty of Fusac, but this village is still in Lusac. Within the territory of grace.

Chris declined Andre's kindness and asked:
"Where is he?"

Andre took a big sip of "Nipos", wiped his mouth, and knocked on the front desk:

"Alexey, where is the 'giant'?"

The bartender named Alexey glanced at Chris warily. After a while, he wiped the bottle as if nothing had happened and said dullly:
"I haven't come back yet."

"Then let's wait a moment." Andre patted Chris on the shoulder and pointed to the wine table in the corner.

Chris endured the smell of alcohol and sat in the corner. There was a stain on the surface of the wine table, so he had to put his hands on his legs.

About half an hour later, there was a noise outside the tavern. Andre pointed to the door and said:
"The 'Giant' is coming."

Chris followed him out the door, and then he understood why Shatov didn't come in and why he was called "The Giant."

According to Chris's visual inspection, Shatov is 2 meters tall and has an unusually strong build. He clearly has giant blood.

Standing in front of him, he could even block the sunlight behind him.

Shatov carried a dead bear on his shoulders like a toy.

As he passed the door of the tavern, Andre called out to him:

"Hey, 'Giant'!"

Shatov slowly turned around, looked at his old acquaintance, and smiled:

"Andre!"

He also spotted Chris next to Andre and asked in a friendly manner:
"Andre, you brought him here? Hey, what do you want to buy?"

Chris didn't answer, but looked at the villagers beside him.

Shatov understood, put down the dead bear, and raised his hand:
"follow me."

Chris followed Shatov through the entire village. The villagers looked sideways and curiously looked at the stranger in front of them.

The villagers were very friendly to Shatov from Feysac, and even vacated houses for him to live in, mainly because he would always bring a lot of Feysac specialties and distribute them to everyone for free.

What's more, he hasn't always lived in the village.

Shatov took Chris into a semi-underground house, which was his temporary residence.

Because Shatov was too tall to enter a normal house, he had to let the villagers make room for a semi-underground utility room and live in it.

The utility room has one floor above ground and one underground floor, but the underground floor is two stories high, and Shatov can fit in it.

He sat on a special sofa and looked at Chris:

"What do you want to buy? I know why you came to me. You all have the same reason."

"Do they know you are an extraordinary person?" Chris asked his curious question first.

Shatov shook his head and smiled: "Even Andrei doesn't know."

"Oh..." Chris continued as if he suddenly realized something, "I need ghost bug powder and the movable type demon brain stem."

He knew that if he said this, there would be a great risk of exposing his own path and sequence, but he believed that Shatov was also a wild Beyonder and a Fusac, so the two would not have any intersection in the future.

Even if he is an extraordinary person of the "Church of the God of War", it doesn't matter - the "Church of the God of War" is even more hostile to the "Church of the Goddess of the Night" than the "Moss Ascetic Order".

And since the "God of War" has fallen, I don't have to worry about anything...

Chris cursed, waiting for the "giant"'s answer.

Seeing how straightforward the other party was, Shatov laughed twice, and then replied:
“I don’t have the movable type demon brainstem, but I have ghost worm powder.

1300 pounds a serving. "
